The day can be long for guests, especially if you have an early ceremony
and by keeping them successfully involved and entertained, you will have
them talking about how much fun they had at your wedding for years to
come.

When you set out the itinerary for the day, estimate how long things
will take and see where there are gaps of time that will need filling. These
are generally whilst the photos are being taken (of just the Bride & Groom
after the group shots), the drinks reception, during the speeches for little
ones and of course - the evening reception. .
These are areas in which you
need to consider a form of amusement or entertainment to keep the guests
from flagging.
